DIED

 

Friday last, at Parton, near this town, Mr. Caleb FELL, many years a master in the coal-trade.

Tuesday last, at Ulverstone in the 20th year of his age, (after a very short sickness) Mr. Miles FOSTER, surgeon, son of Mr. Dodgon FOSTER, Lancaster; at so early a period he discovered a genius which, with his application, promised at some future time to make him a shining ornament of his profession. His learning, in every branch of useful knowledge, was far beyond his years, and, joined with a most engaging affability of manners. made him at once the admiration and delight of all who knew him. Thus attached to his relations, his early death must prove a severe affliction, and is generally lamented by all his acquaintances.
